I was prepared for placating platitudes about our aggressions and their humiliations, our selfishness and their pain. I was willing to go along for the ride in the attempt to, win hearts and minds by exaggerating the population of Muslims in America and down-playing our very obvious differences.

Attributing the existence of a Jewish state to the infamous tragedies of the Jews, no matter how eloquently put, plays into the hands of the anti-Zionists who can henceforth relate the Holocaust to Palestinian suffering.

It is weak-minded and lazy moral relativism and I loathe it like nothing else.

It begs the question of, why Arabs pay the price for European/Russian crimes.

It validates the presumption that the Palestinians are native to the land, while perpetuating the notion of Jews as pathetic nomads.

It cheapens the word, “holocaust” to the degree that Muslims believe the Jews deserve a real holocaust for imposing one and faking another. And ultimately, it does not address the issue that Islam is by nature, anti-Semitic.

It reinforces conspiracy theorizing eugenicists like Nazis and Nation of Islamers/Black Liberation Theos, that modern Jews are fake Jews who stole Judaism.
